Aaron owns these now (my son). Roger never made his living doing sculpture but i think he could have had he put himself out there.<br /><br />Soulbrush, no, R. changed from wood to steel about when I met him though he would do wooden things too now and again. Right. He was both nuts and brilliant I think.<br /><br />Lynn I doubt I was the model or inspiration.
